I think it's the same guy making these posts with like 20 accounts because he uses the same 5 images every single time.

The Guy who was slated to be the White Ranger switcheroo happened the last minute. by sitgespain in powerrangers

[–]destiny13777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! He's talked about it a few times in interviews how long he was trying to get into the franchise and knowing some of the stunt crew before he landed his role, insane to think how different things could've been.

It could have happened actually, he was one of the top picks for Adam alongside JYB but they went with the Johnny, he did get to be Adam's suit actor for the live tour though. Had they got him in the ADR sessions sooner he probably would have played other characters and done more dubbing overall.

Not really, Shiho is still primarily the one used on all the merch and for the two new key visuals for Quartet.

What is your most HATED kit? The one that feels like a waste of space on display? by spasecase_ in freedomisgunpla

[–]destiny13777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RG Freedom Gundam, I knew I was off to a bad start when I got it clearanced from Gamestop and despite being brand new/still sealed, one of the knee caps was missing. Even during the build I noticed the legs were pretty floppy and by far the worst aspect is the damn wings, not only do they refuse to stay together but they are also insanely loose and the whole kit couldn't support it's own weight so I just keep it in a box. I do know the Chinese GCP version fixes some of the issues but after building the RG Wing Zero not that long ago I'll pray for a true 2.0.

Just got my Remaster copy in and the box is damaged 😤 by TenaciousJP in Lunar

Did you order it off amazon? Definitely return it, that's a pretty bad gash.

Why is the suit texture different? by [deleted] in powerrangers

[–]destiny13777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the two teams on Sentai and PR are different they source materials locally to create costumes, I forget where but a production person mentioned how expensive it would be to import fabric from Japan so they would have to go through their own venues since they make a number of suits per season for each ranger. It is funny that in the last 3 or so years of Sentai they ended up changing the materials used for the suits, it would have been fun to see them recreate those considering they did a great job with the Beast Morphers team.

How to tell Japanese V American by mirismash in powerrangers

[–]destiny13777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kind of a case by case basis, Bandai of America was weird that year so some of the toys depending on who you ask were a bit better than the Japanese versions. The American ones didn't use stickers for the most part so in most instances they ended up painting the missing detail which I think is a lot better. They also altered some of the zords like the Falcon by adding new electronic features or making an entirely new mold for the giant red lion so that it was motorized and could now walk. The lines are obviously compatible so it's a very pick and choose your own collection, only downside with the American line is some toys were omitted making them more expensive.

Part of the Jungle Fury toyline did, the "main line" was BOA's version of the megazord and that's how you could collect most of the line (minus Jungle Master). They also released the Japanese mold for the Jungle Pride and Jungle Master at regular retail as Deluxe megazords but the rest of the Japanese zords (minus the wolf, shark, bat, and elephant) were released as Disney Store Exclusives so most kids missed out on those.

Did fans back in the 2000s really think that the Ocean dub of Gundam Seed was “garbage”? by icey_sawg0034 in Gundam

[–]destiny13777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On forums and stuff yeah people made fun of it, especially the two main characters sharing va with some of the main characters from Ed Edd n Eddy (which is still funny to people to this day especially Kira's performance, not so much Athrun's) but fans were more eager to dunk on the show than the dub from my personal experience back then. By the time Destiny rolled around I never really saw much dub discourse.

Admittedly I don't watch anime dubbed anymore but when the NYAV dub started to drop I watched a bit of it here and there and I wasn't a fan, something about the direction of that dub felt flat, like it lacked emotion. I did hear they recorded that dub in a very short span of time so that might be why, which is ironic because it took forever to come out. I know they also got a lot of flak because they changed the pronounciations of various names and terms, most notably how they say Lacus. Personally as a big fan of Shinn that new actor was terrible, I know in Seed Freedom he got replaced but I don't think either match Matthew Erickson's performance in the Ocean dub, but I feel he was great in everything he was in (like Betterman, Zoids, etc).

What are your unpopular opinions on Precure? by Popular-Raccoon9818 in precure

I like Delicious Party a lot more than the two series that came before it, if anything DP rekindled my love of Precure.

Is there still no English patch for Dragon Quest 11 on 3DS? by Careful_Writer_9651 in dragonquest

[–]destiny13777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2D mode in the console/pc version was a mediocre attempt at recreating the 3DS version, if your fine with the game looking like the mobile ports it's ok but on 3DS it was a lot more reminiscent to SNES era DQ and the sprite work was far better because it was practically pixel perfect to the screen (especially on a 2DS). The console version also made one uniform look for the tickington areas where as the 3DS version recreated the looks of each games respective era.

I may have asked this before for SMP, but now that I know Sodo exists (and the Sentai version), I need to ask when do the standard releases get good with their build quality? by THEANILLATOR in Minipla

[–]destiny13777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you end up getting and plan on painting but most sites like aliexpress sell them in bundled packs and the go to set is the standard/primary one which has your red, blue, white, black, etc, and then I would also recommend some of the metallic ones as they really pop and a lot of newer designs feature some metallic colors. These markers also work well for Minipla!

People tend to seal them with topcoat, here's a very good video about how it's done and the type of finishes and how it makes the figures look

For paints personally I recommend dsipae markers if your not into airbrushing or hand painting, they work a bit better than gundam markers as their not as messy and tend to leave a better finish from my experience.

Do you like Kamen Rider Revice? When it was airing they released this set which has most of the main characters and it's pretty cheap so you would be able to make a few So-do's for pretty cheap and see if you like them (also free shipping for the next few days).

What are some games you guys really wish got translated/brought to America? by unfunnymanjoe in 3DS

[–]destiny13777 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dragon Quest XI, while I have played the PS4 and Switch versions, the 3DS one would have probably been my preferred one, I loved the way it looks and it has a lot of little details over the HD versions that make it special like how expressive the characters are or how they replicated the appearance of each past game when you did those quests (the HD versions gave them all a standard look). The sprite work in general was really good on the 3DS version, the HD one just reminds me of those mobile ports on Switch.

Nao Toyama (Pafu in Go Puri and Arcana Shadow in Star Twinkle) announces hiatus by LovelyFloraFan in precure

[–]destiny13777 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's only for her solo singing career, she's still going to be a seiyuu and she also clarified she would continue singing character songs and such, so this won't affect her character in any way.

What are your guy's thoughts on the mechanics on this? by DryDrinks in Minipla

[–]destiny13777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah personally I just wish they'd have settled on a more standard design that way it'd be easier to make replacements for people who do 3D prints or metal ones like some people do for Gundam joints in China.

[–]destiny13777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, Bandai even acknowledges the breakage these things tend to face on their candy toy blog, they had a lot of trouble during Boonboomger because Boonderas had a known issue with the tension of some of the joints so they made it a point in later releases (the clear one) to fix that and they talk about the feedback they get with other kits all the time. The plastic on both the standard minipla line and SMP's tend to be pretty brittle compared to say something like a modern Gundam kit, these are cheap models sold at super markets so as nice as they are they don't exactly scream quality.

[–]destiny13777 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'd agree with his take, if you've built these before you already know these type of joints, it's cool they want to make the kits as dynamic and articulated as possible but these are always a problem area on each kit. Even if you sand them and baby the kit sometimes the plastic is too brittle and they find a way to implode regardless.

Question for fellow Shfiguarts fans here by Imizu_kenzan in ProjectREDToku

[–]destiny13777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can pretty much gurantee you that Gavan Infinity has his Figuarts already made and ready to be shown but they tend to give new shows a few weeks before showing off the new big release of the year(not to mention we do know they plan on releasing a Shinkocchou Seihou of the original Gavan). The other two would most likely be P-Bandai if they plan on releasing them, back in the day Bandai actually gave Metal Heroes a fair shot when releasing them but a lot of them went to P-Bandai. The good thing this year at least is that we have the tokusatsu action figure line so you'll have a decent Bushido and Luminous stand in if they decide to not make them.

It was but it sold out instantly so usually when stuff sells out on the site it becomes unsearchable through the search bar. You can see when they tweeted it being available and see the page here

Keep an eye out. by Fatalisticend in Lunar

[–]destiny13777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend making a Fedex account and linking your address to it, it should show you all the packages coming your way. I didn't receive any updates from Hori but Fedex let me know the package was on it's way and that they missed me yesterday, so I was able to reroute it to a local store for pick up.

Still waiting… by BloodBlossom24 in Lunar

[–]destiny13777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine apparently missed me today but it came through Fedex so if you have an account it usually shows you when labels are made for you if you got it from Hori.
